Row differences using DAX (PowerBI)
¿What would be the simplest DAX formula in PowerBI to calculate row differences?
I tried using EARLIER() but it cannot handle the operation at the limit (missing data):
EARLIER/EARLIEST refers to an earlier row context which doesn't exist.
| row | value | diff(value)? |
| 1 | 5 | |
| 2 | 1 | -4 |
| 3 | 6 | 5 |
| 4 | 7 | 1 |
| 5 | 3 | -4 |
| 6 | 3 | 0 |
| 7 | 1 | -2 |
| 8 | 1 | 0 |
| 9 | 8 | 7 |

Hey frankly,
i was able to do it with SWITCH and LOOKUPVALUE.
Maybe there's a more elegant way.formula = SWITCH(TRUE(),Tabelle[row]=1,BLANK(),(LOOKUPVALUE(Tabelle[value],Tabelle[row],Tabelle[row]-1)-Tabelle[value])*-1)
Kind Regards

Hi frankly ,
You can try this measure:
diff = VAR _current_row = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table_[row] ) VAR _current_value = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table_[value] ) VAR _prev_row = MAXX ( FILTER ( ALL ( Table_[row] ), Table_[row] < _current_row ), Table_[row] ) VAR _prev_value = MAXX ( FILTER ( ALL ( Table_ ), Table_[row] = _prev_row ), Table_[value] ) RETURN IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( _prev_value ), _current_value - _prev_value )+
For the calculated coumn:
Column = VAR _current_row = Table_[row] VAR _current_value = Table_[value] VAR _prev_row = MAXX ( FILTER ( VALUES ( Table_[row] ), Table_[row] < _current_row ), Table_[row] ) VAR _prev_value = MAXX ( FILTER ( Table_, Table_[row] = _prev_row ), Table_[value] ) RETURN IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( _prev_value ), _current_value - _prev_value ) - rubayatyasminCommunity Champion
Hi, BjoernSchaefer
try this
Difference =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Data'[value]),
FILTER(
ALL('Data'),
'Data'[row] = EARLIER('Data'[row]) - 1
)
) - 'Data'[value]the code will only work if your row column has unique value. If not then create an index column starting from 0.
If you have missing values in your value column then try this: make sure you have an index column starting from0
Difference =
LOOKUPVALUE (
Data[value],
Data[Index],
Data[Index] - 1,
BLANK ()
) - Data[value]this thread might help:

frankly Or you can use IF statememnt:
Difference =
IF(
Tabelle[row] = 1,
BLANK(),
(LOOKUPVALUE(Tabelle[value], Tabelle[row], Tabelle[row] - 1) - Tabelle[value]) * -1
)
